Social phobia and lonely rock

I believe that they at least had a vague idea of ​​what would happen after the signing, and also understood the future from then on.

At that time, they were no longer a small band composed of students, performing in a livehouse.

Instead, he entered the professional world, the adult world, and became a musician who accepted rules and requirements.

Ishikawa Hayabusa waited patiently for them to finish watching.

But after watching it, they did not say anything, but turned their eyes to Ishikawa Hayabusa one after another.

Hong Xia asked directly.

"What do you think, Hayabusa?"

After seeing those requirements, they calmed down and thought about it, and then they understood what Ishikawa Hayabusa meant by the development direction at the beginning.

Before he said that, he had already made up his mind.

They know it too.

I just want him to say it for sure and express his agreement. If this is Ishikawa Hayabusa's choice, then it will definitely not be bad for them.

They think this way unconsciously.

But Ishikawa Hayabusa looked around at the four people and a sly smile appeared on his face.

"But I want to hear everyone's opinions first. Now is the direction of the entire band's development, so naturally everyone should put forward their own ideas. In order to avoid my words affecting everyone, I will speak last."

After he finished speaking, several people were stunned. They didn't expect him to make such a decision. For a moment, they felt like a heavy burden was placed on them again.

Not just my own, but also those of the other guys in the band.

They originally thought that today was just an upgrade after their level was increased.

But they didn't expect this to be such a career, and they are not even prepared for such important plans for the future.

Only Hongxia seemed to have made up her mind, but she glanced at the people around her and did not dare to speak.

Just as they looked at each other in stalemate for a while.

Pochi, who was sitting opposite Ishikawa Hayabusa with his fists clenched on the table, looked at the three silent people and then glanced at Ishikawa Hayabusa.

She gritted her teeth as if she was trying to break the shackles in her heart, and when others were about to make a move, she suddenly spoke.

"that!"

Her raised voice slightly startled the people nearby.

Hongxia even shouted in her heart with some surprise.

"Pochi-chan!?"

The other two were also surprised that Pochi would speak at this time, but Ishikawa Hayabusa did not seem that surprised. He smiled slightly and motioned for Pochi to continue.

After receiving encouragement from Ishikawa Hayabusa, Pochi became more determined, but her long-standing habit still made her speak faster, and she hurriedly blurted out all the prepared remarks in her mind.

"I...I may not be able to meet the requirements of the record company. I feel a little scared if I have to perform on large stages frequently. And if I am not allowed to use dark lyrics, then I can't write lyrics..."

She finished her words in one go, but left some words unsaid in her mind.

Even now, if she were asked to play a song about sunshine, she would still collapse.

After hearing Pochi express his concerns, the other three also understood why Ishikawa Hayabusa did this.

He hopes that everyone will speak out their ideas, confirm their own minds, and understand the ideas of others. Regardless of whether they agree with each other's decisions, at least the final idea is the result of comprehensive consideration by everyone.

After Hongxia saw Pochi lowering his head and not daring to face others after finishing his words, she relaxed and comforted him with a smile.

"I don't think it's as serious as Pochi-chan thinks. Don't worry, Pochi-chan."

"Let me tell you what I think next."

Although I have said this to Ryo and Pochi in private, this is the first time I have said it in front of everyone.

But she was not nervous at all, instead she felt relieved.

She said with a straight face and very serious.

"Although...although I want to become a popular band as soon as possible, if I force everyone to do something that makes them unhappy, they will end up not being able to accomplish anything."

Kita shuddered when he heard this and shrank his head in embarrassment.

Hongxia noticed her reaction, smiled and waved her hands to indicate that she was not talking about her.

She looked around at the four people sitting together and expressed her thoughts.

"We have achieved such results in just half a year, which was unimaginable to me before. I believe that if everyone works hard and happily, we will achieve our goals no matter which direction we go."

"So no matter what choice everyone makes, I can accept it."

After she finished speaking, she nodded slightly.

The originally hesitant and silent atmosphere was completely broken.

Kita glanced at Ryo, and seeing that Ryo had no intention of speaking yet, she leaned forward slightly, as if wanting to get closer to the center.

She quickly recalled every detail of the past six months and said with a smile.

"At first, I just wanted to join the band on impulse and did some terrible things, but after joining seriously, I found that everyone was very interesting."

interesting?

Several people were shocked. Being called funny by a top-notch actor like Kita made them feel like they were being treated like monkeys.

Seeing that everyone looked shocked, Kita awkwardly stretched out both hands and shook them to indicate that that was not what she meant.

She became more serious and continued with reminiscence.

“It’s fun to be in the band, and it’s fun to work with everyone and play shows, so whether it’s a little bit forced or it continues like this, I have no problem with that.”

After Kita stopped, the four of them looked at Ryo.

Liang noticed the gazes of several people and looked at them one by one.

The next moment, she raised her hand without any hesitation and patted him gently, speaking in an encouraging tone.

“Everyone said it was very good.”

After she finished speaking, the other four people waited for her to say something else, but after waiting for a long time, they only saw her take out her cell phone as if she was bored.

After understanding her intention, Hong Xia's hair stood up and veins popped out on his forehead. He stood up, grabbed Liang's collar and yelled at her.

"Tell me!"

Liang glanced at Ishikawa Hayabusa, and when he saw that he had no intention of helping, the corners of his mouth twitched in dissatisfaction.

She lowered her eyes to the table and was silent for a while. When Hong Xia was hesitating whether to let her go, she spoke.

"I just want to make my own music. If I give in to the masses and make something boring, then music will have no meaning."

As she spoke, Hongxia loosened her collar and sat back in her seat.

Liang also made it very clear that she would not accept the music being requested.

At this moment, everyone knew each other's thoughts, and after discovering that everyone could move in the same direction, they all breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts.

Ishikawa Hayabusa looked at the situation, which no longer required further explanation, and smiled.

"Then it seems that it has been decided. I will reply to the email of the record company."

Hongxia, Kita, and Pochi nodded subconsciously, but suddenly felt that something was wrong. Liang's face became gloomy and he stared at him unhappily.

The four of them stared at Ishikawa Hayabusa, who had taken out his cell phone and seemed to be concentrating on typing.

After a while, several people felt that if they didn't force him, he would be fooled, so they called out to him.

"Hayabusa-kun/Hayabusa...!"

Seeing that the girls in the family were getting angry.

Ishikawa Hayabusa had no choice but to put down his phone, looking at the angry faces of several people, and resisted the urge to touch their cheeks.

After a moment's hesitation, he spoke his mind.

“I want to make songs that can heal some people and give them resonance and hope.”

His goal never changed.

Hong Xia added, having communicated with him privately several times and knowing that he was thinking more than that.

"Then, like those public figures who shoulder social responsibilities, shoulder hope."

Ishikawa Hayabusa sighed and responded helplessly.

"Yes."

But he will just try his best in this direction.

The other three understood his idea, and Ishikawa Hayabusa didn't want their song style to be fixed and rigid. After all, his dream was not something that could be accomplished by a puppet.

Now that everything has been said, Ishikawa Hayabusa stopped pretending.

He said with a smile.

"Everyone doesn't need to be so nervous. It doesn't mean that we will only follow one path in the future. What if we meet an independent record company that is suitable for a willful band like us?"

The four of them laughed softly.

Hong Xia made a summary and made the decision.

"Then it's decided. We will continue to develop as an independent band! Next, let's take a look at the income from this performance."

"Ok?"

Kita tilted his head in confusion, "Didn't they say there was no appearance fee for this performance?"

“There is no appearance fee, but there is still money to be made from selling peripherals.”

Liang's eyes had turned into the appearance of money, and he looked at the envelope in Hongxia's hand with greed.

Seeing Liang's expression, Ishikawa Hayabusa glanced at Bochi again. He thought Bochi would think in his heart, "Ryo-san is like this when he mentions money," or he might be looking at the money expectantly.

But surprisingly, she didn't. She just placed her hands across the table and looked down at her arms.

She is already delicate and lovely, and this lost look is quite adorable.

Hongxia and Liang noticed Pochi's appearance, but did not intervene.

After the money was taken out of the envelope, the screams of several people also attracted the attention of Pochi who was thinking about something.

Hong Xia was seen holding a large stack of money in her hand. The thick banknotes and several ten-thousand-yuan bills among them made her hands tremble with excitement.

But she still suppressed her excitement and spoke with a calm expression.

"You two are really making a fuss about nothing. It's just a small amount of money."

Hearing her words, Liang suddenly calmed down and she asked.

“Are all the surroundings sold out?”

Hong Xia looked at her in confusion, "Really?"

After all, they had performed quite well that day and gained so many fans, which was much better than she had expected, so it was not surprising that all the peripheral products were sold out.

"There's 7460 yuan in it that belongs to me, please give it back to me." Liang stretched out his hand with a cute smile as if asking for money.

Hong Xia was stunned and began to look through the list the staff gave her.

Sure enough, there were several more items in there that were not put up for sale by her, and the prices on the cold labels were extremely expensive, at least more than twice the original price of the goods.

Hongxia clenched her fists, veins on her hands faintly visible, and she screamed through gritted teeth.

“Yamada…!”

Ryo quickly stood up and ran away.

The three watched as the two men began to run around the table.

This scene is also commonplace to them.

After running only two laps, Liang hid directly in Ishikawa Hayabusa's arms, signaling him with her eyes to protect her.

Faced with his girlfriend's request, Ishikawa Hayabusa had no choice but to turn around and protect Liang, and said to Hong Xia who stopped angrily.

"Forget about it since they've all been sold. Just give her back the money she spent on the things."
